Old man came by today. We had a great time.
Got my house cleaned up and organized before he stopped by, and had just enough time to do that shopping. He pulled up (early), about 30 seconds after I got back home. And my car is still running purrrrrrrrfectly.
I think I'll mostly relax the rest of the night and figure out what I'm going to do to pass the time before I hang out with my bud tomorrow night.

Well it seems like you guys have made, and are making, progress on your projects.
Me? It seems like I work all day, every day, but can only spare an hour here and there which isn't enuf time to get much done. I do spend a lot of time with the family, tho. Maybe that's where all the time is going.

Thanks but it's still a couple of months away from any serious publisher hunting.

Before I blame my self-involvement for not knowing, have you shared what your book is about Brenda? If you don't want to share I understand, but I don't recall what it is you're writing about.

You know something SIX. I don't remember if I have or not. I can talk about it. It's a murder mystery and it happens at a rodeo. The owner of the rodeo is murdered.

Out for my walk on a dry day with the sun trying to shine. Couple of small things to do. Found out that I didn't do all the grocery shopping I needed yesterday. So have to finish doing that today.

We're having parallel days!
I realized that I bought 20lbs of screws yesterday that were all one size when there were two sizes that were free after rebate so I had to return half of them today and get 10lbs of both sizes.
Not a bad deal. $0.28 tax on each box instead of the $5.25 per box it would have been full price and without the rebates.
I did really great on that one. After taxes and the couple of bucks I had to pay for some cheap levels, I got just over $100 of stuff for less than 7 bucks. I think that's the best percentage I've had yet.
Took that opportunity to pick up a few other things I skipped last trip up there. I got 3 carpet knives with 2 blades each for a buck a piece (when a 5 pack of carpet blades alone costs $2.98 anyhow... so 1 free blade and 3 free knives!), and a few scraper sets and 125 sheets of various grit sandpaper. Didn't do nearly as well on that one, but after the rebates clear I'll have paid about $14 for $35 worth of stuff.
Don't know if I'll get to the post office to send them in today like I wanted to though. That was the only thing I planned to do errand wise today, but it started snowing hard on my way back and all that fresh salt is going to be out on the streets. Until I get the other two break lines replaced, I don't think I want to make them any more rusty than they already are.
